Interesting fact

The Pattern 2 Lire (Trial Strike) 1972 from San Marino, made of Silver (.986), is a rare and unique coin that was never officially released into circulation. It was minted as a trial strike, meaning it was produced as a test run to evaluate the quality of the dies and the minting process, and only a limited number of coins were produced. As a result, it is highly sought after by collectors and can fetch a high price at auction.
